Jenny thats good news that its settling down try and eat lots of iron rich food as you've bleeding heavily hope it is better tomorrow.

No sassy not seen that.

Nato bollocks to cramping but as sugar said your not out yet.

I'm going to watch the rest of I'm a celeb in bed :hugs: to you all and night night :sleep:
 
Lucy, great photos! I'm so impressed with you. Glad you had a 30 minute break from your thoughts. How freeing!

Jenny, glad the flow is slowing a bit. I know a lot of women that had a very heavy flow the first AF. As long as it isn't for a week or more, you should be fine.

Nato, my chart does look good, but so does yours. I had a peak earlier today and saw the dip. One temp doesn't mean anything. Neither do cramps. Click on my FF ticker and scroll all the way down. Look at the 9/30/2008 chart. That is my first pregnancy. You'll see on 9dpo I had a big dip below the coverline. I guess that was implantation. But look at 12 and 13dpo. I had some pretty big dips then too. But I was pregnant! And I recall having a lot of cramping at that time. I was convinced AF was on her way. My acupuncturist encouraged me to test, but I really thought it was AF coming.

I know it is sometimes easier to set yourself up for bad news, so if you don't want PMA, I won't give it to you. Have you given any more thought to IUI?
 
thanks girls well it started off with spotting on friday it was with old stuff then my flo started yesterday mixed with old so today its like wham thank you plus the fact i had a lovely bottle of wine last night for the first time in ages x
 
Right, I've been reading up about endometriosis. I'm convinced this is what's causing the pain and spotting every month. I hope they will do a laparoscopy soon to treat it!

Hearty, haven't you got a form of this? Have you had any surgery done on it?

Oo yes, I like that chart Ms Heart

I have been FFing late HPT and seen a few charts with lower temps. I cramped so much the night before i got bfp in January that i took nurofen thinking i was going to get bad af cramps

you get massive temp differences between ov day and 1dpo. i have been admiring them from afar

i am a bit worried i might be developing that too. You dont think its low progesterone then sugarplum?
 
I'm wondering if endo can cause low progesterone Nato? Thing is I only noticed pain after mc, but I've heard the pill can give you relief from the symptoms. Maybe I've had it a while and not noticed!

I'm turning into such a hypochondriac, but all the symptoms match mine. Things like spotting old brown blood before AF, back pain and pain in ovaries. Fuck!
 
Hi Ladies hope everyone is doing good!

Lucy great pictures, I would LOVE to do that!!! You are very brave! I'm not too afraid of flying, I am more afraid of the passengers around me now. And I also look at the passengers around me and think morbid thoughts like we could all die together today...ugh so morbid haha. But I'm not afraid of the actual flying part.

Jenny, my first AF was also very heavy and lasted a lot longer than usual for me...the first 2 were actually heavier than usual and it wasn't until my last one, (third one) that it was back to normal. Hopefully yours eases up soon! :hugs:

Sugar, stay away from google you will worry yourself sick! I'm one to talk though because I'm just as bad...I just feel like I can't trust that the doctors are doing enough for us that I have to try to find an answer myself...just try not to worry :hugs:

Speaking of chocolate does the UK still have Drifters?? I was in England and Scotland for a month in my late teens and remember eating TON of Drifters...LOVED THEM. :haha: We don't have them here but I think it's similar to our Twix. But way better.

Hearty I hope you caught your egg, your chart looks great!! Yay for a normal cycle for you!

Nato, when I'm not peeing on sticks I obsess over the FF pregnancy charts over and over again and the temps seem to be all over the place, some triphasic, some not. Many of them have dips like yours, and your cramps could be something positive...FX for you!

Big hello to everyone else!

It's Grey Cup day here so I'm off to stuff my face with snacks and watch my once yearly football game lol.
 
I'm right here with you with the cramping Nato. I usually get it for about a week before the witch. I'm about 10dpo I think. I don't have high hopes this month, but then again I don't have hope any month anymore. Here's hoping for us both!
 
Sugar, I do have a form of endo, but it is stuck in my uterine wall. Normal endo covers the outside of the uterus. I suspected for a while that I had endo because I usually spot mid cycle, but not around the time of Ov. I was on birth control pills for 17 years and wondered if that could have helped treat symptoms. But I don't have any other symptoms of endo (or my diagnosis adenomyosis), luckily. I know that endo and adeno have to do with an imbalance of estrogen. I haven't heard of there being an imbalance of progesterone. Though I've had some short LP's, I don't have a LP defect. My progesterone levels are always normal.

As for surgery, it isn't very easy with my diagnosis, but with endo it can be. If you suspect endo, you might want to push for a laproscopy. That being said, I agree with Yogi, try to step away from Google. You too Nato!

Yogi and Nato, I've been obsessing over FF charts too. Mainly looking at ones for women who use Femara and when they had sex to get their BFPs. I'm glad mine could give you some comfort Nato. I really don't pay any mind to one single temp like you had today.

Oh and my acupuncturist said that the greater jump you have in temps pre-Ov and post-Ov, the better progesterone levels you have. But also the length of your LP dictates that as well. The two combined are really important.
 
I'm thinking tomorrow, but my better judgement says to wait intil the 7th or 8th (going by my longest cycle length).
 
Wow if you waited until the 7th or 8th, you will be 19 or 20 dpo won't you? Tomorrow might be too early, but you certainly shouldn't have to wait that long, don't you think? If you do wait that long, you will get a huge gold medal for restraint!
 
If I ovulated when I think I did it would be 19 or 20dpo, but my body doesn't like me so it could have been later. Right now I'm cramping like I usually do, but for the most part its contained to one side which is slightly odd and my cp is higher than I'm used to. I try not to symptom spot, but sometimes it hard. Also my boobs don't hurt like normal so who knows!
How are you getting along hun?
 
It also doesn't help that I don't use OPK's or temp. Might use the digital OPK's next month, but I can't take the stress of temping.
 
OPK's are great. I highly recommend them. Then you can really pinpoint ovulation and sex. I'm relaxed right now. Being in the TWW is my favorite part of this whole game because things are out of my hands now. I can sit back and let whatever happens, happen. Symptom spotting has never been accurate for me. When I think I have symptoms, I'm not pregnant, and when I don't have symptoms, I am.

That being said, I'm 3dpo and already want to test! LOL! If they could figure out a test that told you if you were pregnant right after ovulation, it would make a ton of money. This whole TWW business is for the birds!
 
I know. I actually hate the tww! Wish it would just happen already. The good thing is this cycle is going by fairly quick since I have been on vacation for most of it.
 
Yeah, you are almost done with the TWW and will know either way. Where did you go on vacation? (Sorry if you already told us!)
